Molecular Imaging and Photonics KU Leuven
Fundamental properties of the electronic excited state and of the use of this basic knowledge in different physical and physicochemical problems . - Intra- and intermolecular interactions in the electronic excited state. - Photochemistry and photophysics of ordered systems such as micelles, inverse micelles and membranes. Stabilization of ordered systems through polymerization. - Adsorption of organic molecules at surfaces and the influence ...
Trellis Research Group KU Leuven
Laboratory of Viral Cell Biology & Therapeutics is a part of the department of cellular and molecular medicine. The department combines expertises in techniques of Biochemistry, Electrophysiology, Molecular Biology, Cell imaging, Proteomics, Bio-informatics and Animal-model development to acquire novel insights into cellular signaling and communication processes. An additional aim is to decipher the molecular basis for human ...
Chemometrics (Mitac 3) University of Antwerp
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology KU Leuven
Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...
Laboratory of Chemical Biology KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Chemical Biology develops and applies small molecule tools that covalently modify proteins according to a certain trait. We particularly focus on molecules named activity-based probes. These react with active enzymes within a whole proteome and enable a read-out by SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy or microscopy. Besides probe development, we focus on several protease families including the intramembrane ...
Department of Basic Medical Sciences Ghent University
Research Group Molecular Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as well as microglial activation and neuroimmunology.
Department of Morphology, Imaging, Orthopedics, Rehabilitation and Nutrition Ghent University
Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Signaling KU Leuven
The main focus of the research of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Signaling is Ca2+ signalling in health and disease. We have a longstanding tradition in the investigation of cellular Ca2+ signalling both in single cells and in cell populations. We have developed a number of state-of-the-art techniques including fluorescence and confocal microscopy, luminescence and fluorescence multiplate reader, flux experiments with 45Ca2+ and a ...
